Decaying Maple Leaf

We had a few spots of rain first thing today - barely enough to wet the ground though. I took Oreo out for a walk after it had stopped.

On the layby footpath I found this fallen maple leaf - the bright yellow colour standing out against the damp, dark tarmac.

I liked the way the green colour is still visible along the major veins…there was also a nice collection of water droplets still on it.

There was a heavy, short shower of rain on our way back - fortunately I had a lightweight waterproof jacket in my camera bag and didn’t get too wet.
